I need a substitute tutor for an upcoming session/s. How do I find someone?

Finding a substitute tutor is NOT required, but it is encouraged. If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, it's OK. We understand that life happens! But please don't make this the norm, and if you need to cancel but your student really needs the help, it's your responsibility to find a substitute.

The best way to find a temporary sub is by posting on the #find-a-substitute-tutor Slack channel. An example message could look like this:

"Hello! I am looking for a substitute tutor for 2 sessions next week. The student is a 1st grader who needs help with reading. The sessions will be next Tuesday, Sept 10th and Thursday, Sept 12th at 4pm PST both days. Please DM me if you're available to help and I'll share more details! Thank you!"

Once you have found a substitute, you can connect them with your student through your portal account. From the Dashboard, start by clicking your student's name. Then under "More Actions" in the upper right corner, select "Connect Student With Another Tutor".  Enter the new tutor's email address (the one they use with LTB), and save.

Connecting them with a substitute tutor will not disconnect them from you, so when you are able to resume lessons again you don't need to worry about reconnecting with the student. However, you should tell the substitute tutor to release the student after they are done subbing.

**Be sure to inform the family if you find a substitute tutor. Also, ask the substitute tutor to get in touch with the family to confirm times, and to schedule the substitute sessions with the student on their LTB account.
